Hey guys,

 

At the moment, I'm attempting to create a custom container. It SHOULD be showing the following:

 

The players inventory, the quick bar, and the 'bank' inventory.

 

I have everything working to a certain degree, but I'm having difficulties with the slotIndex values. The problem really stems from the fact that I just don't completely understand the purpose of them, or how they achieve that purpose. I tried to decipher it by looking at the other containers/slots, but I just don't understand it. Could someone help explain, please?

 

Thank you!

The slot index corresponds to the slot of an ItemStack array that you should have created in your TileEntity. All of the IInventory implemented methods should point to that array.

 

It basically maps out so that each slot in a GUI lines up with a slot in that array. So you put something in the slot that you designated slot 0 in your Container, it will go in 0 slot of the array inside the TileEntity and you can reference it from there.

Hi Denoflions,

 

Thanks for the help! I moved on to getting the GUI to work properly. For this storage item, I'd like to have the sidebar scrolling available, like in the creative inventory, but I can't even find where this is created. How is that done?

 

Thanks,

Zetal
